rock, blues, country, and gospel is the unique sound of Molly Hatchet.

During this time, they were on the road

with Aerosmith, Bob Seger, The Rolling Stones, and many others.

Molly Hatchet celebrated their 40th anniversary with a world tour and the release of the double CD and triple vinyl live album titled Battleground, to rave reviews by fans and the press.
